Juggling work, family & faith in the Hospitality State
I spent most of the weekend in bed sick, reading blogs and looking at craft projects so when the decadron shot I got yesterday afternoon finally kicked in, I was full of ideas and just had to start on one of them. I picked one that looked easy and quick…and it was! I used a [...]
If you’ve ever wondered if you could make a cute little outfit with an applique on the shirt, the answer is “yes!”. It’s easy. Here’s why: With just a little bit of ironing, you can applique almost anything….Here’s how I know: I made this outfit for my son in just a few hours [...]
In my family of five sisters, there are lots of personalities (at least two for each of us) and numerous opinions about anything and everything. There’s not much that we all agree on. However…. For as long as I can remember, we have all loved Primos. (Don’t you dare ask me, “What’s Primos?”….okay, ask if [...]
That’s right…homemade butter! My daughter and I have been reading this: And for some reason, this book always makes me hungry. I think it’s the idea of playing in an attic full of food. Read it…you’ll see…just be ready to have an unseasonal craving for pumpkin pie. I’m just sayin’. Anyway, as we were reading [...]
This is a little something I’ve been thinking of doing for some time now. Not because I’m all ec0-friendly or because I don’t want to buy paper napkins any more (because I’m not and we don’t buy them often anyway)….I want to make cloth napkins because the ones I have are either all made of [...]

Beans Mosaic: We’ve been talking about mosaics ever since we saw a mosaic floor at [...]
March is National Craft Month, and to celebrate, each Monday this month, MississippiMom.com will feature a different craft for Make-It-Yourself Monday. We’re starting today with a crayon batik that’s so simple to make that young children can do it with a little supervision. I fell in love with batiks when I lived in Kenya and [...]
Okay, I have to confess that I don’t remember ever having eaten cinnamon rolls from Cinnabon. But, that’s what this recipe was originally called, and while I may not know if it’s true these taste like Cinnabon, I know they are delicious. Honestly, this is one of my favorite recipes. With the use of a [...]
This weekend, as I was making a wonderful chicken pie recipe, I did something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: I made my own cream of chicken soup. I knew it was a fairly simple thing to do but just had never taken the time to do so, even though I really [...]
\ Happy Valentine’s Day! I know today’s the day because I made the mistake of going to Wal-Mart…crazy. Also, the pink tint on my fingers from making cookies for my daughters’ class is a tell-tale sign. As is the brand-new copy of Pioneer Woman’s cookbook that I found with two Cadbury Fruit & Nut bars [...]
